I don't understand Font:getWrap

[RoToRa]

I'm new to LÖVE and Lua, and I have problems understanding Font:getWrap. I have a simple main.lua containing solely of

Code: Select all

io.stdout:write(love.graphics.getFont():getWrap("Test", 100) .. "\n")

nothing else, so font, font size, etc. all are at default. Since the text should fit without any problems into 100 pixel width, I'd though the function should return 1, however I'm getting 31.

What am I missing? What does the 31 mean?

getWrap return two values. Width, and then lines. I think you're only reading the width, currently. To get the lines, read the 2nd value. I think you can do this with select(), otherwise, just make some variables:

Code: Select all

local _, t = love.graphics.getFont():getWrap("Test", 100) .. "\n"
io.stdout:write(t)

That should be:

Code: Select all

local _, t = love.graphics.getFont():getWrap("Test", 100)
io.stdout:write(t .. "\n")

lol, of course, that's my copy & paste skills messing things up

I feel so dumb. I was sure to read the Wiki page hundreds of time, and somehow I missed that.

Thanks!
